Comcast Business Makes Cybersecurity Simple for Small Businesses with Nationwide Launch of SecurityEdge™ Preferred
Enterprise-grade, AI-powered threat detection, embedded directly in the
Because SecurityEdge Preferred is built directly into the Comcast Business network, security can be activated in minutes without deploying additional hardware, managing multiple vendors, or maintaining complex security tools.

The scale of the threat environment small businesses face is not hypothetical. In
Activation takes minutes. No additional hardware is required beyond a Comcast Business Internet router, and no IT expertise is needed to get started or manage the solution on an ongoing basis. SecurityEdge Preferred is
“Our network is what makes this different,” Nascimento continued. “Security that’s embedded in the infrastructure – rather than layered on top of it – means we can stop threats closer to where they originate, at a scale most small businesses could never achieve on their own. That’s what we built this solution to do.”
SecurityEdge Preferred is available now to eligible small businesses across Comcast Business’s national footprint. The product completed a phased rollout that began with a limited beta in
